Capricorn Dancers, Day 4 – The Blowhole

July 15, 2021July 11, 2021 Itching for Hitching

Day 4 Sunday 30/5/21 Tocumwal, icy then warm 0-16 After a pleasant morning sitting in the sun chatting and reading we take a short drive to the local tourist attraction. One that we’ve never heard of. The Blowhole is a strange funnel like 15 foot deep water filled hole in a flat granite outcrop. Sacred to the Ulupna and Bangaragn people it seems to be connected to the Murray River, several kilometres away, as its water level rises as that in the Murray lowers. We scratch our heads wondering at the mystery of it. Dinner is pork fillets in a … Continue reading Capricorn Dancers, Day 4 – The Blowhole

Day 2 Friday 28/5/21 Tocumwal, sunny with a chill wind 6-15 A really, quiet night and it is so nice to snuggle back under the doona and listen to the birdsong. Midmorning after a lazy start we stroll the two blocks into town looking for a new step for VeeWee as she ran over hers with the motor home. Never a good move and it looks a little sick and bandaged. Town is busy and friendly the autumn leaves are still hanging on to wintry branches. Since we were last here there’s a new two storey building being built overlooking … Continue reading Capricorn Dancers, Day 2 – Settling in

Day 1 Thursday 27/5/21 Home to Tocumwal, we’re so stressed we don’t notice the weather We were intending to leave home on Saturday the 29th of May for our winter sojourn and we’re happily ahead of schedule with our packing when a 4th Covid statewide lockdown becomes imminent. Woody has an eye test at Specsavers at 10:40 delaying our departure. Ever watchful, VeeWee has already whizzed up to Seymour a day ahead of us. At 11:00am the lockdown is announced, the state borders will be closed at midnight. We hitch up and leave as soon as Woody returns from his … Continue reading Capricorn Dancers, Day 1 – Like they say in the Westerns “Don’t leave town”.
